Kinross ‘Aura’ Gibbston Blanc de Noirs (Pinot Noir) 2025

Gibbston Valley, Central Otago, New Zealand

★ 4 ½ - 91pts 

Blanc de Noirs translates from French as “white from black”. It refers to a white wine made entirely from dark-skinned grapes.

Apricot and blossom aromatics with lifted wild strawberry, cherry pot purée, nectarine, and rose petals, all carried with a cool mineral freshness. The palate is fresh and stony, with red apple, peach, and delicate red fruit flavours, threaded by fine tension that keeps everything tight on the finely textured, chalky palate. Modern, edgy, and smartly made - love it!
